Chapter 1382


    Early the next morning.


    Luke felt refreshed and had a high color. His mood could not be better.


    Eileen red at the two resentfully.


    Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ruben.


    Eileen thought for a moment and answered it.


    Ruben wanted to meet her at a cafe nearby.


    She agreed.


    As soon as Luke heard that, his face fell, darkened, and turned livid like the weather in June.


    In an instant, he covered his wounds." Ouch."


    His implication was clear. He wanted her t o stay instead of going to see that damn eyesore!


    "I''ll be right back. Give me about ten minutes. It won''t take long. Brad will keep youpany."


    Since she was so determined, Luke knew that it would be pointless to say more. Therefore, he shut


    his mouth.


    In the afternoon, Eileen left for the appointed cafe.


    The moment she went out of the room, Luke had his eyes fixed on the watch. He was calcting


    how long it would take her!


    Brad felt bored and started drawing.


    Luke frequently looked down to check the time. Every second seemed like a year!


    Soon, an hour had passed.


    Luke started to curse, "Shameless man. Ten minutes, my ass. 60 minutes have passed."


    Still, she hadn''te back!


    After a moment, Eileen returned.


    Lukey down. Full of lies, he groaned pitifully like a deserted wife, "Ouch! I''m starving."


    Her face was as calm as still water. There wasn''t a single ripple, but something seemed to be hiding


    inside. "I have something to tell you."


    Luke raised his head, gazed at her, and waited for her following speech.


    "Ruben and I are getting engaged in three days..." she dered, eyeing him back.


    Luke thought that he had misheard. In disbelief, he continued to stare at her. "Is this a joke?"


    Eileen asked back, "Do I look like that?"


    Her face was very serious. There wasn''t the slightest hint of joking.


    Luke immediately felt like something got stuck in his chest. He found it hard to breathe and


    subconsciously grasped the quilt so tightly that veins popped on the back of his hands. "It''s so


    sudden."


    "Is it? He and I are in a rtionship. So far, we have learned pretty much about each other. We


    have feelings for each other, so it''s reasonable for us to get engaged," Eileen said, gazing at him.


    "What about me? You''ve been here guarding me for so many days. What is that supposed to


    mean?"


    Agitation was rolling in his heart.


    "You were injured because of me. Be it reason or emotion, I should take care of you tirelessly. It''s


    my responsibility and obligation."


    Luke stared at her fiercely. "Just out of responsibility and obligation?"

    "Of course!" she answered inly without the slightest hesitation.


    "Then why did you sleep with Brad and mest night? Do you know what it means? Or should I say


    you could look after an injured man regardless of principles?


    Responsibility and guilt?”
